Vacation - Day 6

On day 6 of our vacation we explored some mountain areas around the Asheville, NC region. Our first two hikes of the day were in Chimney Rock State Park. The views were awesome, although the trails were a bit easy. The Hickory Nut Falls trail led us to a cool, 400 foot water fall. From there we drove to Pisgah National Forest where the kids slid down the 60-foot Sliding Rock into very cold water (but they enjoyed it any ways). Our hote in Asheville - Brookstone Lodge - was the only non-Marriott property we stayed at - but it was a very nice, new hotel - and for less than $90 per night, it was a bargain!
